Do you mean Don Corleone as in Marlon Brando and one of the greatest acting performances of all time? A bit mumbly :lol: :lol:
Haha, yeah that’s the one. Tbf I think the copy I watched might not have been the best quality. Either that or he was just a bit too mumbly :lol:

I cant say I really agree with anyone in here. Perhaps it depends what 'hype' you read. I don't tend to read or listen to anything before viewing.

There is something I dislike about most of the films mentioned but in general they were still good to watch.

The Revenant was great, cinematically especially, although a bit slow. Django also, a bit too slow, still worth a watch.

Pulp Fiction is faultless.

Office Space I thought was really funny and kind of went with Fight Club in explaining how much I hate working in offices.

Even in films I wouldnt watch again there is plenty I enjoyed.

Over than The Martian I'm not one for space or sci-fi movies though.

The Irishman was good, even with it being a bit cringe worthy at times, like old men trying to hang on to youth.

I would say a lot of the films mentioned are unfortunately more well known than more deserving films.
Are you saying that was good or bad?

I was about to bring it up as I hated it and don't understand why it got good reviews at all.

Unless everyone just fell asleep after the first 30mins when the whole thing fell into a web of contrivances and the ending really sent me over the edge.

It was the only one I can think of that I thought was OK. Meant to say other not over. I can definitely understand why you wouldn't like it.
